Downloading radio programmes from the BBC radio archive collections

[Michael Mayne]

Actually, having done this for both a radio and a TV show, the TV show ends up as an AVI file.
Normally my downloaded TV shows are MP4s.
Is there a way to generate an MP4 when downloading? I use Windows Media Player on Windows 8 Desktop to play my files.

The radio is an MP3 as I have --aactomp3 in my preferences so that's OK.
Thanks
Michael

Hi
Yes it's possible.

Like this for audio clips:-
get_iplayer --type=radio --url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/james_bond/12601.shtml"

Like this for video clips:-
get_iplayer --url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/james_bond/12602.shtml"
